Recently, I had another birthday which was a lot of fun to celebrate, and a time of reflection as well. No doubt, many of us can relate to asking ourselves where the time has gone! It definitely fly’s by quickly!
That said, understanding that ‘life is short’ can motivate us to focus more energy on how best to enjoy ourselves each day, and not just on holidays, vacations or birthdays!
Often looking at our childhood pictures can generate a sense of emotional warmth for the little person we were, and who still wants to come out to play.
Part of my recent celebrating involved going out dancing with my husband which felt great! We hadn’t done that in a while, so it was a good reminder to play more in that way.
My love of dancing goes way back to when I was a kid and my mom took me to weekly lessons. Though I’m still involved with dancing on a regular basis at the gym doing choreographed routines, it is fun to mix it up and explore other venues doing freestyle movements as well.
Regardless of our chronological age, it’s never too late to reignite activities we enjoyed in the past, or develop new undertakings to revive our childlike enthusiasm.
What activities ignite your younger self, or bring you the greatest joy now?

This is so very true. As I aged, I tended to put fun things off, always saying that “someday” I would do this or that. It was a mistake, and I hope Cathie’s post will wake up all of you so that you don’t make the same mistake.
I think many of can relate to putting things off for ‘someday’ but thankfully we can start playing today! 🙂
